My brother is a lover of chess and so I’ve had to buckle down and play the game from time to time because, let’s face it, I really don’t want to inherit the ‘Rotten Sister’ label. But I am more of a checkers person; it’s a simpler game for simpler minds, but with the Intuitive Chess Set, my game of choice may soon be changing.
Designed by Reggie Wilson, the Intuitive Chess Set pieces are marked by their moves instead of by their names. There’s no more need of Kings and Pawns. Although I enjoy the figurative nature of chess, literal connotations will better my play.
